Lemony Green Beans
These Lemony Green Beans are bright, crisp, and addicting! Perfectly steamed green beans are tossed in a mouthwatering lemon sauce. Perfect as a side or on their own!
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh green beans
- 2 lemons
- 3 Tbsp olive oil, garlic-infused recommended
- Maldon Sea Salt
Instructions
- Add water to the bottom of a medium sauce or saute pan (that fits a steamer basket). No need to add too much, about 1/4 inch up the side of your pan is plenty. Add half of one of the lemons, thinly sliced, to the water. Add your steamer basket.
- Wash the green beans, trimming their stems. Add to steamer basket. Steam for 5 minutes over medium heat, until fork tender (or until desired tenderness is met).
- As the green beans steam, prepare the lemon sauce. In a large bowl whisk together the juice of the other half of the lemon and your olive oil. I made this recipe with garlic-infused olive which turned out delicious! Add a pinch of salt and whisk until combined.
- Once green beans are done cooking, add them to the bowl with the lemon sauce. Toss lightly to combine. Transfer to a serving platter and top with thin slices of fresh lemon and sprinkle with Maldon Sea Salt, which offers the perfect, salty crunch.
